The Peace and Freedom Party‘s Los Angeles County Central Committee is pleased to invite you to attend a candidate forum Friday August 3, from 6:30-8:30 pm. This is the final forum before Saturday’s Convention vote, and an opportunity for all five candidates to present their views, programs, ideas and reasons for seeking the Peace and Freedom Party Presidential nomination.

Journalist and author James Tripp will moderate. Each candidate will have an opportunity to make a brief opening statement about themselves, their reasons for running and their campaign. The forum will cover topics ranging from foreign policy, economic recovery and job creation, healthcare, and education, selected from the Peace and Freedom Presidential Candidate Questionnaire. Then candidates will be able to respond to questions from the audience. Finally, all candidates will make a brief closing statement.

A reception with socializing and light refreshments will follow. Each campaign will be provided with a campaign table in the reception area for literature and volunteers.

Here are partial results reported to date for the Peace and Freedom candidates in the June 5 election.

Note that write-in votes are not yet counted in Los Angeles County.
Eugene Ruyle (15th Assembly District) and Lee Chauser (33rd State Senate District)
are certain to advance to the second round in November because they are the
only certified write-in candidates in districts where only one candidate is
named on the ballot. Mary McIlroy also advances to the November election.

These results for legislative offices in which Peace and Freedom candidates
were listed on the ballot were last updated at 3:07pm on June 27.

County Central Committees

Here are partial results of the contested Central Committee elections. Where the data is available, we report percentages of total turnout as well as percentages of the total number of votes (where each voter has several votes). We think this approach is more meaningful than the way "vote for N" elections are reported by election officials. But it isn’t perfect either because Peace and Freedom registrants who didn’t vote for any Central Committee candidates are included in the denominator.

In Alameda County, 5th Supervisorial District, six candidates were elected.
